Twelve Significant Photographs In Any One Year

We Were In The Shadow Of The Mountains, The Light Was Cool And Quiet And No Wind Was Stirring. The Aspen Trunks Were Slightly Greenish And The Leaves Were A Vibrant Yellow.

Life Is Your Art. An Open, Aware Heart Is Your Camera. A Oneness With Your World Is Your Film. Your Bright Eyes And Easy Smile Is Your Museum.

A Photograph Is Not An Accident - It Is A Concept.

"simply Look With Perceptive Eyes At The World About You, And Trust To Your Own Reactions And Convictions. Ask Yourself: "does This Subject Move Me To Feel, Think And Dream? Can I Visualize A Print - My Own Personal Statement Of What I Feel And Want To Convey - From The Subject Before Me?""

Yosemite Valley, To Me, Is Always A Sunrise, A Glitter Of Green And Golden Wonder In A Vast Edifice Of Stone And Space. I Know Of No Sculpture, Painting Or Music That Exceeds The Compelling Spiritual Command Of The Soaring Shape Of Granite Cliff And Dome, Of Patina Of Light On Rock And Forest, And Of The Thunder And Whispering Of The Falling, Flowing Waters. At First The Colossal Aspect May Dominate; Then We Perceive And Respond To The Delicate And Persuasive Complex Of Nature.
